is my favorite, even though I've never finished it all the way through.
We got to the bit where Squall and Rinoa go back to Esthar and try to
get into the Lunatic Pandora.
Me and my best friend picked it up
nearly 10 years ago, around the time that FFX game out on the PS2.
Something to work through as friends, something to focus our energies
on. We played that game every night after school, just one hour a night
that our parents would allow. Occasionally we would play it all night,
on the weekend.
Eventually, we left school and got jobs. My
friend had a bit of trouble, he couldn't find a job very well. He could
drive, though. He was eventually hired to be a long distance van driver,
driving from our home town in Scotland to London on fairly regular
occasions. We didn't play FF8 that much after this, our schedules were
far too busy.
One night, I got a phone call from a hospital in
Bristol. I had no idea what was going on, but they said there had been
an accident, and my friend was in a critical situation. It turns out his
van weaved off the road and into a tree because of the weather
conditions. I didn't make it down in time.
My best friend died
before we could finish the game.
And I'll never finish it. |
